Democrats cling to their weird "woke" ideology. What else is new? They don't care what the American people think or want. Too bad we cannot deport some of these crazy woke Democrats along with the illegal aliens.

One tactic I wish would be used to counter the Democrat lawfare is having cases on the same issue brought by conservatives, say state attorneys general from conservative states suing federal agencies for NOT following Trump's executive orders and bring them before conservative judges to get contrary rulings to the ones from Obama judges.

Say, Ken Paxton, the solidly conservative Texas AG (and likely next US senator) sues on behalf of Texas seeking to order federal agencies to follow the Trump EO on deporting illegal alien criminal gang members under the Alien Enemy Act, citing the cost to Texas in spending, crime, etc. or these criminals being present. The DOJ could then respond by admitting the allegations of the Texas complaint, and Texas could move for summary judgment, a slam dunk to get an order to proceed with the deportations in the state of Texas. Other conservative states could then follow through.

The Trump administration could then decided to follow the order of the Texas court at least as to deportations within that state.

The Democrats clearly had this lawfare planned out, and the Trump administration should have as well. Some of these AGs hopefully will think of something like this on their own. It would certainly be a boost to Paxton's senate campaign, for example.

Illegal immigration is a real mess in Germany with huge spikes in crime and 63% of the welfare budget spent on illegal aliens. Merz has revealed himself as a flunky of the globalists. He has probably destroyed his party with this betrayal of the voters. Hopefully, he has not also destroyed the country as well.

An honest objective federal judge for a change. Remarkable. Our federal courts are a cesspool.

That bill falls way short on the spending cuts America needs if we are going to save the dollar. It also fails to end the tax on social security benefits, which is highly unfair double taxation. What I hear on the radio is that the problem is the congressional leadership. This is a huge blunder if they fail to take this opportunity for needed budget cuts.

Similarly, the recision bill to cut federal programs already approved seems to be stuck in Congress. We should not tolerate these leadership failures.

Counties like this need to be audited for the last four years and any money given to illegal aliens should be clawed back.

Tillis is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE as a Senate nominee.

Sotomayor if not removed from the Supreme Court should be forced to recuse herself from any cases involving this administration. After a statement like it is very unlikely that she will up hold her oath to the Constitution.

Journalism as it used to be known has been dead in this country for some time. The MSM are little more than propaganda organs of the left wing of the Democrat party. A few years ago a disgruntled member outted "Journo-List" a list serve run by a top writer at the Washington Post, where the liberal media types all collaborated in secret to get their narrative straight. Once it was exposed that one shut down, but there is little doubt another took its place.

The RedState article linked above is spot on as to the politization of our courts and that Sotomayor has stepped a long way over the line.

I reviewed the public comments of that May 5th commission meeting and Travis Martin from Blounts Creek made lots of sense in his reasoning for keeping Snowden School open. It's too bad that four commissioners and seven school board members just don't want to know.

The problem is not "the courts". It is politically corrupt Obama judges and Biden judges abusing their positions to push a political agenda and this absolutely MUST be stopped if we are to preserve democracy within our Constitutional republic. These partisan Democrat judges are just unelected, unaccountable, political appointees who are trying to attack democracy in their power grabs. There are lots of other solid Constitutionally sound judges out there, and sometimes in appelate courts they have been able to stop the Obama and Biden nutters. But the above article is right that this is all about delay, which they achieve even when a higher court shuts them down.

There are other options than the above. One is impeachment of the politically corrupt judges, with heavy duty subpoenas to seize documents and electronic devices to investigate any collusion in this clearly political campaign of judicial "resistance".

A variation of that would be a special committee in Congress to investigate these judges and subpoena them to testify before that committee in a public hearing. Put these tinhorn judicial dictators on the hot seat.

Additionally, Congress could use the power of the purse to punish them for their undemocratic acts. What we are seeing is the Judicial wing of the Democrat Party. They are 100% politics and 0% Rule of Law.

Simple, Van Zant. They do not want to be confused by facts because their little mings are already made up.
